Description

The Turtle Nest is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that is both charming and comfortable. Between the beachy decor inside, spacious screened in lanai which overlooks the large heated pool and luscious landscaping out back, guests are able to fully relax and enjoy their time on the Island. The Turtle Nest is just a brief walk to either the Gulf of Mexico or Tampa Bay. It is also only a block from the shopping and fine dining on Anna Maria's Pine Avenue. A week long booking may not be enough time to enjoy the swimming, fishing, biking, shopping and eating that our lovely Island has to offer.

A Visit To Paradise

"Our recent stay at the Turtle Nest was absolutely wonderful. The accommodations are modern, clean and comfortable. The island has so much to offer. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach or just relax in the beautiful in-ground pool. The sunsets were just amazing. There are many quaint shops also within walking distance. The trolley makes traveling on the island very convenient. It's a great way to see the island and is free of charge. We enjoyed fishing, golf and kayaking, just a few of the many fun things to do. The location of the turtle nest couldn't get any better. Will definitely be going back."

Came back for more

We have stayed here in the past and always love coming back. Such a cozy, family-friendly home. It is close to everything you need from shopping, sightseeing, and of course short walking distance to the beach and bay. I, personally, have a hard time leaving the huge pool and backyard paradise! Can't wait to come back again.

Great Vacation at The Turtle Nest

The week my family and I spent in Anna Maria Island was nothing less than perfect. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. The best part was the beach being so close to the house and being able to walk home, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower, and jumping in the beautiful pool. The street over was filled with quaint shops and restaurants that our family enjoyed every day. There's a lot to do here and you're guaranteed to have a lot of fun!

Great House Perfect Location

WOW! Great house and perfect location! This house was a perfect fit for us. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, walk to the beach, and did I mention the pool! The backyard is like a private oasis, impeccably landscaped and oh-so-tropical. The inside was clean, cozy, and charming. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Charming House close to everything

What a beautiful house! Clean, comfortable, and perfectly decorated with a cozy beach house vibe. Two blocks one way is the gulf of mexico and two blocks the other is the Tampa Bay. On the Bay side we loved walked out on the pier after we got ice cream from Two Scoops. So close to the gulf we were able to walk down almost every night to watch the sunset!!! The house was perfect for us, plenty of room for all 4 of us inside with a nice big living room with plenty of seating!! LOVED sitting out on the back screen porch at night after coming inside from the pool or the beach and just unwinding from the day. The backyard is AMAZING! Its like a private little oasis, the landscaping is impeccable. We spent a lot of time in the back yard, its big enough where you can find your own little private nook somewhere to read or just relax. The pool is heated (but we didn't need it) and huge, my kids thought it was the biggest pool they had ever seen. Plenty of outdoor seating (table for 4, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs etc..) LOVED it here, we will definitely be back!

Florida Oasis

This house is the perfect getaway for a beach vacation. It is newly renovated inside and out. My favorite spot was sitting on the sun deck of the heated pool - perfect for tanning but staying cool in the water! House is within walking distance to the beach, bay, and all the cute shops/restaurants on the island. Great place for kids and elders since there are no stairs in the house. We have already rented 2 weeks since the renovation and plan to go back again! Thanks for everything!

Picture Perfect Beach in a Top-Rated Florida Community

First: Anna Marie Island is wonderful. Great boutiques, some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen, lots to do, and both the gulf side and the Tampa Bay side provide their own individual worlds of water and beaches, shops and piers, and great walks through the charming community. it's like getting a 2-4-1 deal. 2 blocks to the gulf side and 4-5 blocks to the bay. Best part is spectacular sunrises at the bay and sunsets on the gulf. Second: The Turtle Nest has lots of charm, beautiful beach décor with an updated look, and the most comfortable beds for a great sleep after a day full of fun. We loved the swimming pool and the beautiful landscaping in the back yard. Third: I love photography and the exotic birds in the yard, at the pier, and at the beaches gave me plenty of photo ops along with the sunsets. Fourth: A fun thing we saw and will do next time is riding horses in the waters of the bay. We also loved the trolley that can take you to many places on the island so you don't need a car. Fifth: This place is worth every star, wish I could give it 10!

The Turtle Nest is one in a million!

The Turtle Nest is hands down the most relaxing, most accommodating, and most convenient place to stay on Anna Maria Island. Located on one of only three streets that connect both the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay, The Turtle Nest is in a perfect location for beach goers and adventurers. When we didn't want to go to the beach, we simply opened the back gate into our own little paradise filled with palm trees, beautiful plants and flowers, and oh yeah, a large in-ground pool! If you want to experience ultimate relaxation and happiness, The Turtle Nest is the place to go! :D
